A Saturday Spent Sewing
Inez gave a workshop for Oakdale quilters and of course I attended......using 2 1/2 inch strips you can make a really cool quilt. Here is a pile of 2 1/2 inch strips that I am sewing together.
I recut the strips and then sewed a black magic square on one edge....sew two of those together...sew four of the units together and you get this block.....neat don't you think. I got all my strips sewn and cut I just have to finish sewing on the magic squares and I can sew more of the block seen below. Inez was sewing on another project and here she is sewing the blocks together. This is a picture of four of the block sewn together. She had these blocks all stacked up and ready to be sewn. I took a close up of the quilt after Inez had it all sewn together.......beautiful. Here is Inez holding up the black and white quilt......she calls it a charm quilt. This is the same pattern she used in the butterfly quilt I took a picture of and had in my last posting. I must make this quilt.
I am a quilter. The grandaughter of a dairyman. I was married to a dairyman but am now divorced and have a daughter. I work for a dairy trade group. Love cows and the country life. I was born here in the big valley and have never lived more then 15 miles away from where I was born. I buy way too much fabric, patterns and quilting books, belong to two quilt guilds and will never have enough time to finish all the projects I want to do.
